Although Carla is a friendly competitor, it reveals in Cars 2: The Video Game that she can play dirty when the player makes her side-bash another car.
"Carla hails from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where she's been known to dance the night away at the famous 'CAR-nival' but nothing makes her happier than being on the racetrack. Carla was drafted into the 24-hour endurance racing team in Europe after setting a new track record on her local circuit. Now, in the World Grand Prix, this proud Brazilian Le Motor Prototype racer, wearing #8, is the only female in the field."

Trivia
In the Brazilian version of Cars 2, Carla replaces Jeff Gorvette and becomes the car Lightning McQueen meets along with Lewis Hamilton at the World Grand Prix opening party. Unlike the English versions, her speaking role expands. In this dub, her performer is the singer Claudia Leitte.
Also, in said dub, McQueen calls her by nickname, "Carlinha," which means "Lil' Carla."
According to concept art, Carla was originally going to be named Sonia Santana.
Coincidentally, Carla is also the eighth model (just like her number) in the Cars 2 die-cast number listing.
